Ethics are the thing that prevent us from getting in trouble. After a mistake has been made or a rule has been broken, all you are left with is law. Ethics play a key role in keeping us out of trouble and guiding us to make good decisions. Ethical failures reflect on the entire institution; ethical successes reflect on the individual often seen as valor and courage.

Key lessons:

1. Ethical failures reflect on the entire institution
2. Upholding the professional military ethic is the responsibility of everyone
3. Individual effort can be more important than sweeping initiatives
